Mobility programs are part of the internationalization efforts of FIMPES’ accredited institutions. Institutional accreditation has been done exclusively in private universities by FIMPES, since 1992. During this presentation we will talk about the data of students’ mobility in FIMPES universities, their participation in FOBESII, and its relationship with quality assurance.
